The San Ramon City Council is set to talk about the status of the City Hall renovation Tuesday evening, during which time city officials will also dedicate time to discussing the ongoing Public Safety Building Complex project.
The City Hall reconfiguration is projected to cost an estimated $3 million, according to city staff, and will be used to accommodate staff moving over from the San Ramon Permit Center at 2401 Crow Canyon Road, which will be reconfigured in order to accommodate the city’s proposed joint fire and police headquarters.
According to city officials, the project will include the “optimization of existing city departments” in order to accommodate the relocated city administrators.
In addition to Permit Center staff, San Ramon’s Community Development, Engineering and Transportation Services departments will be relocated to City Hall.
In place of the old San Ramon Permit Center, the city plans to construct a Public Safety Building Complex and Emergency Operations Center to be utilized by both the San Ramon Police Department and San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District.
The EOC building will consist of a freestanding two-story, approximately 9,840-square-foot building and will provide local first responders with a centralized command center for emergency situations.
The building will consist of an emergency center, breakout rooms, dispatch, bunkrooms and other support spaces, as well as an approximately 565-square-foot, single-story gym addition for the police department on an existing patio area located at the property.
San Ramon City Council’s regular meeting is set to be held virtually at 7 p.m. on Tuesday. Interested residents can view the meeting on the city’s YouTube page or on its Zoom account using webinar ID 932 1573 9695.
Residents can submit public comments via email to CityClerk@sanramon.ca.gov. Comments must be sent prior to 6 p.m. on Tuesday and include “Public Comment 10/27/2020” in the subject line.
